In the Holy Quran we are told that Muslims should tell others that they are coloured in Allah’s colours. Here we look at what this means. It means that we should reflect His attributes such as His Beneficence and His Mercy and forgiveness.

Two of Allah’s attributes are Rab or master or owner of the worlds and Malik or the judge. This is the concept of accountability because a master or owner has the right to ask his employee to account for what he did and whether he damaged anything the master has given him.
